Working? No way...

probably thinking  I actually have enough time to waste   I can look back at this post and laugh again in the future.

I love my work life. Studying hard really pays off... I never pictured myself as a lecturer...um it's even weird to mention or even label myself that.

However, I'll admit my first job wasn't too pretty. Straight after my Masters I jumped into being a research assistant at Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Shitty pay (10K/month) but since I was a fresh graduate, I didn't mind it because I wanted the experience. Not to mention my boss was the best boss ever! uh NOT... She was a middle aged, meno-pausal, overly ambitious, heartbroken woman. At first I felt sorry for her and wanted to help her in everyway I could. But I was stupid and naive, and fell for her pathetic stories. She manipulated me in so many ways you wouldn't believe. It came to the point where I would be working on Saturday mornings in order to ease HER workload... But I guess working for her (ahem more like being her slave) taught me a lot of things. I realised how much I value myself. And Ashamed to say... not all that much.

It brings me back to think about my childhood. How my parents would push me to work hard. And how excuses were not acceptable even with good reason. I always try my best and push myself until I feel the stress. In my mind I repeat "nothing is impossible"...even when others bring me down I still keep going. It's just my work ethic...get the hard job done and the reward is so much greater...

sigh* but i realised it's not worth it if you're not happy... life's too short to make urself suffer...even if you suffer for a while. Never do anything that doesn't make you happy. It's a different story if you have to sacrifice yourself for another's happiness but if you're sacrificing yourself for someone who doesn't give a fuck about you then think twice. Looking back I feel soooo stupid.

I am so thankful that God has given me the opportunity to teach and now I can be my own boss.

Peace*

when enough is enough...

6:10 am

I wonder if that's beaten my record of doing last minute assignments. From past experiences i promised myself never to leave assignments till the last minute. But looky looky here i am again pulling my hair out and watching my white hair grow. I feel so sorry for my body, for not taking care of it and for pushing myself to the limit. Just imagine stretching a rubber band, you can only stretch it so far until it snaps. You can never mend a rubber band, oh wait can you?

Well anyways... i still  havn't finished my last assignment. But after Saturday i'm  FREE FOR A WHOLE MONTH. i can't wait...

As for now, my last assignment can just eat my arsssssss!

living dead

5:40am...

the end.

Part 1 "Left Alone"

Part 2 "Left Alone"

Part 1 was the first korean music video that i watched in my life.  And this is why i fell in love with korean mv's. Although now i'm pretty out of date with the new kp. I don't watched korean pops n soul as religiousely as i did before. I've been trying to find this mv for a long time and today i remembered the name of the singer and immediately typed it in youtube. It's funny how my brain works, because i swore that i forgot the name of the vid and then only today i remembered!!! I was trying to remember for so long...now i'm so happy that i found it

And what more, i got to see what happened in the end! I never knew there was a part 2 i always thought it was just going to be another sad ending...but no i was wrong... they eventually found each other.
